Should Good People Get a Little Dirty

There is a raging debate going on between the executive and the judicial branches over deportation.   More specifically about the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to deport a group of Venezuelan.    We have been name calling, the ignoring of Court orders , and interesting exchanges on X.    Arguably it is being done to keep the country safe , but there is no question it is being done outside our usual process.

The thing that caught my eye was a statement by Acting Field Office Director Robert L. Cerna of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations.   He admitted when question about the criminal records of the 17, that “many” didn’t,  but added:

 “The lack of criminal record does not indicate they pose a limited threat. In fact, based upon their association with TdA, the lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose. It demonstrates that they are terrorists with regard to whom we lack a complete profile.”

This line lead me to the question:   Isn’t that most of us? Outside of course the contact with   TdA.  Should good solid American Citizens maybe cut a corner or two , so that they are beyond suspicion?    Now to be clear, we constantly advertise for people to drive safe.   So I am playing a little hear.    But, it is worth going back a thinking about that quote and it’s implications on all of us.

If you, your family, or someone you know is in an accident or in trouble , it is worth taking the time to sit down and talk to an experienced law firm with success in helping people who are injured through no fault of their own or charged with a crime. The consultations are free and it allows you to figure out what rights you have after an injury.
